Verse
F  C   G F

Chorus
C   G   F   C
note: when he plays the F chord he normally just plays the D G B strings 

Best friends day, well, it came and went
And not without incident
On the hill they™re all moving in
But I don™t care much
I™m dodging branches from Maple trees
They™ve stolen heavy and steady sleep
They seized every city street
With tuition bought full dirt

And I sat at the river with Ronnie
Watching the Cormorants
And the Osprey diving for their prey
He asked about old friends
I said, I ain™t seen none of them
He™s said, they™re all transient, man
And their footprints they washed away

Still I walk this town
Hoping to get lost some how
It seems by now though I™ve smoothed a path in every side walk
It™s all painted black and gold
Black tar where once stood homes
Gold in the hand of each student based franchise

And I sat at the river with Ronnie
Watching the Cormorants
And the Osprey diving for their prey
He asked about old friends
I said, I ain™t seen none of them
He said, how™d you get here, man?
And why’d you stay?

Come on brother, let™s make a list
Of all those gone that we still miss
Let™s make a list of what they believed
And we still do
Like living first and working last
And beating the day before it™s past
Like what™s mine is yours, man
And what™s yours is mine

I think I™ll stay here getting older
And angrier
And getting louder with each passing day
And think about old friends
And all that I have learned from them
They may have moved on, man
But we™ll all be gone someday
